Prominent conservative legal scholars are increasingly raising a constitutional argument that 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump should be barred from the presidency because of his actions to overturn the previous presidential election result.

Ok, I get the sentiment but let’s bear in mind that whatever rules apply to Trump will be applied to others. It should be very hard to bar someone from running. Trump doesn’t have the support to win the general. It’s not happening. He lost the Republican party multiple elections now, and they know it (well, enough of them know it). Let’s not forget that Eugene Debs ran for office in 1920 from prison. He was put there under the Sedition Act for speaking out against WW1 and the draft, if I recall correctly. This type of thing is a sword that cuts both ways.
My guy, if his actions don’t meet the threshold, no one’s will.
